BECAUSE OF YOU
Ne-Yo ft Joe Budden Lyrics

Ooh
Expressing an emotional response

Want to but I can't help it
Desire to stop but unable to resist the temptation

I love the way it feels
Being addicted to the pleasure derived from the drug

This got me stuck between my fantasy and what is real
Being unable to differentiate between reality and fantasy due to addiction

I need it when I want it
Being dependent on the drug to satisfy the urge

I want it when I don't
I crave it even when I know I shouldn't

Tell myself I'll stop everyday
Making promises to quit but failing to keep them every time

Knowing that I won't
Having a clear realization of being unable to quit

I got a problem, and I (don't know what to do about it)
Being unaware of the solution to the drug addiction problem

Even if I did, I don't know if I would quit
Doubting self-control and determination to quit

But I doubt it, I'm
Being unsure of the ability to quit

Taken by the thought of it
Being enslaved by the addiction due to constant thinking about the drug

And I know this much is true
Having an undeniable fact about the addiction

Baby, you have become my addiction
Addressing the drug as the center of the addiction

I'm so strung out on you
Being excessively dependent on the drug

I can barely move, but I like it
Enjoying the state of being under the influence of the drug despite the inability to function

So, then it's all because of you (all because of you)
Attributing the addiction to the drug itself

Never get enough
Having an insatiable desire for the drug

She's the sweetest drug
Referring to the drug as being irresistible

Think of it every second
Constantly thinking about the drug

I can't get nothing done
Being unable to function without the drug

Only concern is the next time I'm gon' get me some
Having an obsession with getting the drug

Know I should stay away from
Having an awareness of the need to stay away from the drug

'Cause it's no good for me
Recognizing the negative effects of the drug on health and life

I try and try, but my obsession won't let me leave
Being unable to quit the addiction despite numerous attempts due to an uncontrollable obsession

Ooh, even if I did, I don't know if I would quit
Doubting the ability to quit the addiction even if given the opportunity

Ain't no doubt (no doubt, ayy)
Having a clear conviction about the drug addiction

So strung out (strung out, oh)
Being excessively dependent on the drug

This ain't no grain of doubt, oh
Having no doubt about the severity of the addiction

(Over you)
Being consumed by the drug addiction

Because of you
Attributing the addiction to the drug

Mmm, never get enough
Desiring for more of the drug

She's the sweetest drug
Referring to the drug as being irresistible

(baby, you, you, you, yo)
Addressing the drug as a personified figure

Have become my addiction (my addiction)
Acknowledging the drug as being the cause of addiction

I can barely move, but I like it (but I like it, yeah)
Enjoying the state of being under the influence of the drug despite the inability to function

Never get enough (oh, never get enough)
Having an insatiable desire for the drug

She's the sweetest drug
Referring to the drug as being irresistible
